No. Both words have different meanings. Ghettos were districts in towns where Jews were forced to live. The first of these were established in many European towns and cities in medieval times. By 1870 all ghettos in Western and Central Europe had been opened and Jews were allowed to live wherever they chose. (More recently the word 'ghetto' has been extended to old, run-down urban areas occupied by poor minority groups). When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 they re-established ghettos - that is, sealed off areas where Jews were forced to live. The Jews had some control over their own affairs but were entirely dependent on the Nazis for food, water and other essentials. The Nazis made sure that the food supply was grossly inadequate. The best known ghettos were in Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow and Lviv (Lemberg). Concentration camps, on the other hand, were forced labour camps run by the SS. In the extermination camps the prisoners were gassed.

Where were the Jews killed?
Typically in any pogrom or genocide against the Jews, the Jews were killed in close proximity to where they lived, usually in the same town. The Holocaust was relatively unique in that Jews were first confined to ghettos and then shipped across the empire to concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. Most of the outright-killing and gassing occurred at the death camps. However, abuse from guards, starvation, and disease killed many in the ghettos, concentration camps, and the labor camps.

How many people died per month in concentration camps?
There were 20,000 concentration camps, ghettos and labor camps throughout Europe with the largest amount being in Germany. Not all of the camps and ghettos were designed or designated to be "murder camps". So they did not all have the same amount of deaths per month as you ask about. I have heard from historians who estimated that at the beginning of the incarceration of the Jews and undesirable people there were thousands who were killed each month or year. Towards the end of the war they guesstimate there were 70,000 deaths a month throughout Europe but that is not a solid figure. If you need the exact averages during certain years or months the United States Memorial Museum of the Holocaust could possibly supply you with those figures. See the link below.
